3.1.3 Fade Time Assign
You can choose whether the board’s fade time during scene execution is implemented broadly to all
output channels or only to the Pan & Tilt movement channels. This is relevant because often you will
want gobos and colors to change quickly while not affecting the movement of the light.
Action :
1. Turn the FIXTURE power OFF
2. Hold the MODE and TAP DISPLAY buttons simultaneously and switch the power back ON
3. The FIXTURE is now in Fade Time Assign mode
4. Pressing the TAP DISPLAY button toggles between “ALL CH” and “ONLY X/Y”
5. ALL CH means that fade time affects all channels
6. ONLY X/Y means that fade time only affects pan and tilt functions
